Materials that are lightweight yet exhibit superior mechanical properties are of compelling
importance for several technological applications that range from aircrafts to household …

Water is one of the basic needs and vital concerns for human beings. As the world's
population increases, our water resources become significantly stressed, not in terms of …

Inspired by natural materials, hierarchical architected materials can achieve enhanced
properties including achieving tailored mechanical responses. However, the design space …

Spider webs are incredible biological structures, comprising thin but strong silk filament and
arranged into complex hierarchical architectures with striking mechanical properties (eg …

Architected materials can achieve enhanced properties compared to their plain
counterparts. Specific architecting serves as a powerful design lever to achieve targeted …

In this study we report a computational approach towards multiscale architected materials
analysis and design. A particular challenge in modeling and simulation of materials, and …

Industrialization harms the quality of water; therefore, cleaning and monitoring water sources
are essential for sustainable human health and aquatic life. An increase in active surface …

Topological engineering (3D printing into complex geometry) has emerged as a pragmatic
approach to develop high specific strength (high strength and low density) lightweight …

The key issues in fractal geometry concern scale invariance (self-similarity or self-affinity)
and the notion of a fractal dimension D which exceeds the topological dimension d. In this …

The unique topological features, such as complex and hierarchical porosity exhibited in
nature have been the basis to create new materials and/or structures. Most studies have …
